Good morning, friends! In this Morning Chit Chat Live, I’m on my way to work here in Alabama (it was about 50° and rainy), and I’m just catching up with y’all about what I’ve got going on for December. I’m talking Vlogmas plans, Christmas shopping, and all the little everyday-life things—because that’s really what my channel is about: real life, simple ideas, and cozy seasonal resets that fit into a busy schedule. I share that I didn’t do any Black Friday shopping, but I did order a few things online and I’ve got packages coming—so y’all will see those in Vlogmas Day 2. I’m only posting two times a week (Mondays and Wednesdays) because that’s what works for me with work, and I still go live every morning at 4:30 AM CST. I also chat about what I still want to pick up for the house—like a Christmas table runner and some florals for a dining table centerpiece—and I’m planning to grab wrapping paper and gift bags (Ross is usually my go-to for the value packs). We also talk family Christmas plans: my son is 12 (almost 13), we already got him a new phone for safety, and I’m thinking about a gaming table. Plus, I’m sharing ideas like looking at Christmas lights, community center activities, and our traditions like gingerbread houses or decorating cookies.
